Smoking in front of your children, right or wrong?

[Emeraldo]

I don't condemn smoking as an adult, but it is a better practice not to expose these very tender ones to the harsh physical, health and psychological effects of smoking.

Do you agree to this?

There is nothing wrong with smoking even when there is always an inscription about smokers liable to die young, this does not mean that all smokers are going to die young. If you are a chronic smoker, there is no reason to smoke in the presence of your children because they will send a different signal about their father smoking which means they can also mimic him and learn how to smoke too.
This is how children becomes a negative impact to the society, going about teaching their friends how to smoke which should not be embraced at a tender age. Smoking is bad for children and should not be encouraged.

As we don't advise negative addicting things to our children we also implore to the parents not to smoke in front of them, even if they no that there parents smoke do to what the heard from people is better they only hear it than a parent openly doing it in there presents, when a child is use to seeing it from there parents they might rap a paper one day and be practicing how they saw there father smoking it, smoking cannot be condemned but they're not for the intake of little children because there brain could be a striking point of the smoking were they would be thinking abnormal.

I was chilling with my siblings at the rooftop bar section of a hotel when I noticed this man who came on a date with his family and was smoking cannabis freely in front of his wife and two beautiful children of as not more than 5 and 7. It was unpleasant to me because children see their parents as role models and are very fast to copying what they see their parents do. Exposing them to such experience at a tender age reinforces the desire to smoke in them and may even see them start smoking before they are adults, with or without the knowledge and permission of their parents.

Furthermore, there are health implication of inhaling cannabis in their tender body systems. Children can suffer seizures and even breathing problems from cannabis poisoning, it can also cause asthma attacks, unnecessary agitation and even decreased coordination in children. Temporal effects on children can last from 24-36 hours.

Already smoking is not good for the body; that's why they wrote on the pack that smokers are liable to die young. Now it all depends on your kind of personality as a parent and if you're a smoker. Because if you see it as being wrong, I doubt you as a father would even get to smoke in the first place, so parents may not see this as bad; perhaps he too may have grown up seeing his father do some smoking too.

But generally, it's a bad thing to smoke in front of such kids; you're literally teaching them what to do when they grow up, even though some may get to see it when they've grown up.

well am a newbie but yes,  you’re drawing a clear line around responsibility and exposure, especially where children are involved. Parents are indeed the first and most influential role models children have.

[Tungbulu]

Whether smoking in front of your kids is right or wrong depends on what is perceived as right or wrong in the society that you are. What you see as wrong could be seen as right with the next person, morality isn’t something that’s static or perceived the same way everywhere. It might interest you that there are some societies that see smoking as absolutely nothing but a norm and a way of life. But to answer the question, if you’re a smoker and you have no issue with your kids smoking, maybe then maybe in the future, then we can say you can consider it to be right (for you). But if otherwise…

[Solodoski]

I totally agree with you, smoking of any kind is not good to be done in the presence of kids be it your kids or any other kids. Smoking in the presence of kids is very bad for them health wise, be it cigarettes or cannabis,  so it's not advisable to do it in the presence of kids. Like you mentioned, kids tends to see their parent as role models, so when you smoke in presence of your kids, it makes them feel its okay to smoke and you take away that choice from them to choose to smoke or not, because they already see you doing it at a tender age and it makes them believe it's okay to smoke.

You are right, there are people who doesn't find it offensive when they have a kid who copy their foot steps both in the right and the wrong things they do they see it as a good way to know there kids takes after them in character and resemblance you do not tell them how to train their kids when they want them to be doing what is wrong, but a father who understands that smoking is not good for his health and keeps on doing it will one day see his children smoking he doesn't need to hide for them to know his lifestyle. If the parents wants to be a good example to their kids it's best to teach them only the good things but the society has given us different individuals so it's obvious you can't see good parents without seeing the daft ones who see wrongs as right.

Firstly smoking is bad for the health, the smoke is really affecting both the smoker, the wife, the children and everyone around them if the smoke is being inhaled. As a father the children will be looking up to him, and children will also look for opportunity to try what they see others doing.

That’s the fact in general definition of the smoking is really bad for health both the adult and the young once’s but the way some are smoking like something that is given them extra health, they don’t know that too of smoking will lead them to affect their inside body which also clause cancer.

It’s very wrong a father to smoke in front of his children because children of today are very fast to grab something in their head, and when they see their father doing such things in their front they will be thinking that it’s good that’s why their father is doing it; so in this case it’s very wrong as father to do such things when his children are there.

Yes I totally agree with you, despite the fact that everyone will say we are in a free world and entitled to do anything doesn’t mean we should start influencing the young children with habit that are not proper for them. These habit might affect them in so many ways physically and mentally because their body is not yet strong enough to take those things. Everyone should try their best as adults to keep smoking away from children.

[Mhizlove]

I get your point of view and I also agree because why a family man or a father goes out with family and be smoking where the children is, that don't seems okay because those kids might or will adopt what they see from their parents. Seeing this kind of habit from the father early will urge let to be like that or they will be like since their dad is doing it, it's normal, this will make them grow up with that mentality and start smoking before they even come of age.

 And my own view is that as an adult it's your choice when it comes to smoking and not just smoking alone, but you should know that exposing children to it isn't good rather you should protect them from it, and not everything an adult does that children are suppose to see rather the best way for them is to safeguard them from things that can be harmful to their health and future.

Smoking in front of children is wrong --- because cigarette smoke is harmful, because I am always reminded of messages from doctors.

So if you want to smoke, always stay away from children, or in front of the house, never inside the house, especially if there are small children who are still 2 years old, they can be vulnerable to exposure to cigarette smoke.

Always avoid children as much as possible.

Smoking in from of your children in my opinion that's very very wrong, children learn by what they see. There are many ways that a childrens of this generation can see or imitate smoking whether in the movies, schools and some social gatherings although the child might not perceive it as a good thing compared to seeing one of the family members or parents smoking. In addition most of the adult in these generations started developing interest in smoking between the tender age, some will even try to taste it which if possible it mostly safe to control the kinds of movies your child is watching and peer group he is mingle with.

I consider smoking wrong and don't advise anyone getting himself into smoking but while doing it, if you do it in the front of your child, you've sawned a seed in him or her that will take almost forever to be whipped out.

Children learn very fast and most times do it by observing what the people around them are doing. If as a parent you are the one that's directly exposing them to smoking, Thier going to draw an high level of validation to and and once they start, it will take a strong force for them to eventually stop it that's if they are able to even stop it.

It is only only children. In general, people who smoke tobacco are supposed to avoid smoking in front or near others if possible. That is why companies and businesses have a designated smoking areas for their employees, so people who so not want to inhale second-hand smoke can completely avoid doing it.
Children just happen to be more vulnerable to tobacco smoke because they weigh less, so have less tolerance to toxins.

There is no much difference from one's children breathing tobacco smoke than having a pregnant woman to smoke. The harm is about the same.

Yes its very very wrong because children learn what they see easily than what they don't,  must people don't understand what the principle of life is all about that is why they easily make mistakes that will hunt them forever.  As for smoking i wont say its not good in as much as it do not conflict my interest but because of its negative effects to health it should not be exposed to children at there tender age so they will not abuse it due to the fact that they don't know how dangerous it could be to there health if constantly taken.
